A few tips for those who want to increase their vocabulary

1. Read in the original! Will it be fiction, world news, cooking recipes or advertisements - not so important if you have acquired the habit of working with a dictionary while reading. Each new word is another step towards learning English.

2. Work with a monolingual dictionary! Not immediately, but gradually, accustom yourself to abandon the usual "word-translation" scheme. Sometimes it is difficult to give an explanation of a concept, even in your native language. However, when working with a monolingual (written in one language) dictionary, you will have a chance to better understand the meaning of many words.

3. Learn words in context! When maintaining your personal dictionary, write down not individual lexical units and phrases and sentences. Thus, your language will play with new, lively phrases faster.

  • I really love learning English, and the Puzzle English website is really the best quality and thoughtful resource I have ever met!!! To the creators and developers of the site every time I feel a lot of gratitude for your work.

Thank you very much!

  • I have been trying to learn English for a long time. I need it for study and work. I went to courses, tried to use various computer programs, but the results were not encouraging. I learned about Puzzle-English on the Internet. Liked the project. Decided to try. Having already completed 50 classes (auditing, videos, serials), I noticed that I began to understand quite tolerably English speech aurally. It inspired me, because. could almost independently understand lectures in English. In this, I think it was Puzzle-English that helped me a lot. I continue to study English on Puzzle-English further and I am sure that the results will be even better. Make it interesting and exciting. Well done authors! We creatively approached the creation of the site - from idea to practical implementation. I am glad that the guys do not stop there, but constantly improve and develop services.

  • I am a housewife, far from being young, practically of pre-retirement age and I AS if I don’t need English anymore, and for trips there is enough meager school and institute base, BUT - owl. pleasure. I don’t have a specific motive for learning the language, but, almost every evening, my hands type “Paz-In” on their own and I go to lessons and exercises. The idea of ​​​​a sentence constructor is so exciting that my daughter (9 years old) herself sits down for Peppa pig and, now, - for Muzzy and asks me not to prompt. Many thanks to the creators of the site, we are looking forward to new lessons and cartoons for girls. Good luck!

  • I watch mostly only TV shows, first with Russian, then English subtitles in headphones. I check new words in the EN-Ru dictionary. I like grammar exercises, a variety of videos. The main thing is to do it every day. I am trying to silently conduct a monologue in English, using new words from Puzzle English. I want to learn English more and more.

  • I have been learning English for quite a long time, both on my own and with tutors. But this almost did not give visible results: either it was boring, or the approach to studying was not correct. But since I met Puzzle-English, everything has changed. Thanks to this resource, in less than six months, I began to fluently understand spoken English and translate texts of medium complexity. Learning on this site is interesting, fun and always accessible. Particularly effective for me was the "Serials" section. I thank the developers of the site for such a wonderful resource and a great opportunity to finally learn English!

  • In the evenings I like to sit in Puzzle English. I like the game space that the site offers. I love to sing songs, although they often change and sometimes I don’t even have time to remember or write them down. I love children's songs, especially since their author is a very talented musician. I like a series of programs about who and what lives in London. This greatly broadens the horizon and gives a lot of frequently used words, in different versions. I liked the videos about the Buddha and the Angkor Wat temple complex, I love the series about travel. I liked the new Sherlock, the only thing I regretted is that there is no series about Poirot with David Suchet. The songs are the best. I began to understand English by ear, although if not native speakers speak, but Asians, Latin Americans, Indians, I still I understand with difficulty. For me, this is gurgling in a cauldron... The vocabulary has expanded and it was done effortlessly, without any tension. And I'm just happy to learn English on this site.

  • I fell in love with English long ago in my school years. Unfortunately, when I studied with us, they developed the reading skill, so after school I read at a fairly good level, I understand about 80% of what is written. And such important skills as listening and colloquial speech, they practically did not teach at school, or taught in a limited amount. I came across this site by chance for about 2 years and I liked it with its gradation educational material for users with different skill levels. The audio clips presented on Puzzle English helped to significantly improve the listening comprehension of English speech, especially in films, because if you take news clips, the announcers speak very clearly there and my listening comprehension level reached 60-70% when watching such videos. And when watching movies, usually all my words merged into almost a continuous stream and you can only make out individual familiar words. By watching movies on this site and analyzing them in detail by phrases. On the second, third viewing, you already hear these phrases and remember that they mean. And if you watch the film at least 10 times, the phrases are already spinning in your head and not only, you can say they fly off the tongue. Thanks to Alexander Antonov and his team for such a huge and necessary work, and most importantly for a not very large annual fee

  • When I found out that in 5 years I would need a decent knowledge of English, I went to reconnaissance on the Internet. It was in October 2012 and I was almost zero in English (basic reading rules, 3 simple tenses, 500 words of vocabulary as a result of all my previous attempts). Having tried a bunch of sites, I ended up on Puzzle English... And fell in love... Because that I found such a wonderful idea here that I didn’t have to study in the classical sense, but I could just play with words, trying to put them in the right order. And to help and translate right next to the word, and the voice acting is right there, and cool, clear. It's great that the words are all in context and therefore remembered much faster. And besides, videos ... After watching a bunch of different ones, I forever got rid of the fear of whether I could speak correctly in English, as I saw that straight people often use pretty free sentence construction. When the cinema appeared, I already understood the series by 50%, and TED by almost 90%. In a word, the results I have surpassed all my ideas about them. I recently passed an interview-testing with teachers from the USA, which defined me as a strong Advanced. But it hasn't even been 2 years since I ended up on puz-eng. And all thanks to such a wonderful invention - not to practice, but to PLAY in folding puzzles. Super! Now I am sure that by staying with you, in a couple of years I will become a doctor in English. I wish you to grow and develop, well, I am with you.

  • Thank you very much for your site. Working with your site is very helpful for developing listening skills. I have been learning English for many years, but understanding English has been my main problem. After studying on your site, I made a big leap in this area and began to understand English texts by ear much better. An important innovation of the site developers are interactive exercises - puzzles. They allow not only to watch a video and read subtitles, but to actively act, making up listened sentences from words. Very impressive selection of videos and movies. Personally, I especially like non-fiction documentaries, a large number of which are available on the site. In the future, I would like to see on your site the series "Friends" (at least its first series) and classic English detective stories (such as, for example, "Inspector Morse" or "Inspector Lewis"), as well as films in which you can hear correct and competent English speech ("Royal English"). Also, in my opinion, it would be useful to create general table rating of site participants so that they can compete with each other by being active. I would like to wish the developers of the site site further success and further development this very useful initiative.

  • A huge THANK YOU to all the Puzzle English team for such great project!! I studied English like everyone else: school, college, even some courses at work, I tried many sites, but there was no result like this, I “mumbled” something there, and no more)). About 1.5 years ago I accidentally stumbled upon Puzzle English, then the site was still very young, but from the first visit it attracted attention, I will not dissemble, firstly, the price, compared to other sites, is VERY democratic, and secondly, such a variety of materials as in Puzzle English, I have not seen anywhere - this is a large number of videos of different levels, grammar exercises, service series (by right a unique service). Thirdly, you can practice at any time convenient for you. It is also worth noting that the site is aimed at Russian-speaking people who study English and all the material is explained in RUSSIAN, which is important if your level of language knowledge is not so high... In this regard, I would like to note one more interesting "thing" as "Tips-secrets", I personally learned a lot of useful things from them !! After 1.5 years spent with Puzzle English, I finally start to speak English, and not "mumble" as before, the fear of communicating with native speakers has passed, before that I was always afraid to look stupid and avoided communication, I improved my skill in listening to the language . In general, we can talk for a very long time about this project but it's better to try! Once again I would like to express my gratitude to those who are working on the project. I am very pleased with how the whole process is organized. Administrators work very quickly and quickly, the site is constantly evolving. I would like to wish a long life to the project!!

  • Usually I don't write reviews, I don't like (or maybe I don't know how). But for my favorite site, Puzzle-English, I will make an exception :-) In my opinion, Puzzle-English is the best site for self-study of English, and even in game form. The site is never boring, you can always choose a video to your liking, regardless of the level of language proficiency. The site will be interesting for both a beginner and an experienced student: before you is a huge catalog of cute songs for children, cartoons, musical hits that thunder all over the world, performances by famous artists and politicians, fragments of TV shows, educational videos and other videos of various levels of complexity. Your task is to listen to part of the video, try to hear the phrase well and assemble a mosaic from its words. I treat this service as a game, entertainment, when I want to take a break from my main work and relax for ten minutes, I just go to Puzzle-English and collect the video I like. There is an interesting effect with songs when you UNDERSTAND what this song is about. Those who are interested in English grammar can go to the exercises section and practice the chosen topic, collecting specially selected sentences, of course, first listening to a short theoretical video themes. All phrases in this section are voiced by the announcer. The Puzzle-English website has a unique service "Series". Before you are several dozen episodes of famous TV series and programs: "Two and a Half Men", "Sherlock", "Great Expectations", "Life on Mars", performances TED conferences etc. You just watch your favorite series, and in difficult moments you press pause and you have the opportunity to read the script of the series, listen to the phrase again, watch the video explanation slang expressions and words. If you are a beginner, you can set up subtitles in English and/or Russian. The site has a built-in player specially designed, and therefore convenient, for learning the language. All unknown words can be placed in the "personal dictionary". It is noteworthy that in addition to the word, the corresponding phrase with a translation into Russian is placed in the dictionary. And in the end, I want to recommend you the Puzzle-English channel on YouTube, the guys share tips for self-learning languages ​​there, and the entire collection of educational videos of the site is collected there. PS. In order to use the site, it is not necessary to be a user with a paid account. Many sections can be used for free, just an annoying sign with a payment offer will be displayed all the time. P.P.S. And yet I urge you to pay for the services of the site, this money will help make the site even better, and its creators deserve to be paid for their work, in addition, you will have a lot of additional opportunities.

  • When I started learning English in the eighteenth last century we had only boring and incomprehensible English manuals. At that time didn't exist the mp3 players, smartphones and laptops. I remembered even how People lived without the internet. And If I'd such stuff earlier, I'd been probably speaking English fluently now and could understand the English speech, movies and songs. Modernity has given us awesome facilities to study English. We can read the authentic books and newspapers, hear the English songs and audio books, watch the foreign movies and TV, communicate with native speakers. But we haven't any time to practice this. Because I was glad when I found the site Puzzle English. On this website you can take a maximum of English stuff for yourself and spend a minimum of your time. Where are huge plenty of useful and interested English lessons, exercises, TV "s serials and so long. All of the ones were carefully prepared for education purpose. You can instantly find translation and pronunciation each English word or phrase and add one in your private vocabulary to try it later. All workouts are doing easy and fast. And I"m visiting on every day this site to improve my English language. Of course I use not only this website, but Puzzle English is my favorite one. And I hope with Puzzle English my awful English will have been reached the perfection.

Estimating the number of learned and memorized words of a foreign language is primarily interesting for understanding how far a person has advanced in “passive” perception of information: texts, speech, films, etc. I propose to familiarize yourself with several methods that I used, found on the net and "home-made". Below - a couple of tests for assessing vocabulary, a technique for searching important words, which have not yet caught on in the brain, a few arguments and a few links.

Online tests

Of the many tests for evaluating the number of words, I liked two. A couple of years ago I came across a rather simple Test Your Vocabulary . As you go through three screens of words, you tick off the ones you think you know, and then you get a grade. total learned words. Many of my friends complained about his inadequacy - they received an amount less than "the one about whom I know for sure that he knows worse." But when passing, there may be a mistake of a different kind - it seems that you know the word, but in fact you have already forgotten it. They say that the hand itself reaches out to put a tick next to a word that seems vaguely familiar, so you can subconsciously overestimate your overall rating.

You know at least 10,500 English word families!

What do my results mean?

In general, there is no minimum vocabulary size. Language ability is related to vocabulary size, so the more words you know, the more you will be able to understand. However, if you want to set a learning goal, Paul Nation's (2006) research suggests that the the following sizes might be useful:

How large a vocabulary is needed for reading and listening?
Skill Size estimate Notes
Reading 8,000 - 9,000 Word Families Nation (2006)
listening 6,000 - 7,000 Word Families Nation (2006)
native speaker 20,000 word families Goulden, Nation, & Read (1990)
Zechmeister, Chronis, Cull, D'Anna, & Healy (1995)

What is a word family?

There are many different forms of a word, so this test measures your knowledge of the most basic form of a word and assumes that you can recognize the other forms. For example, nation, a noun, can also be an adjective (national), a verb (nationalize), or an adverb (nationally). There are also forms which can be made with an affix such as de- or -ing which also modify the way that the word is used or adds to the basic meaning. For a test of receptive vocabulary knowledge such as this one, word families are considered to be the most accurate way of counting words.

Frequency Dictionaries

After registering at www.wordfrequency.info, you can download the American English Frequency Dictionary excel. There is also a text version.

Like this:

Rank Word Part of speech Frequency Dispersion

1 the - a 22038615 0.98
2 be - v 12545825 0.97
3 and - c 10741073 0.99
4 of - i 10343885 0.97
5 a - a 10144200 0.98
6 in - i 6996437 0.98

4998 middle-class-j 5025 0.93
4999 apology - n 4972 0.94
5000 till - i 5079 0.92

The file contains 5000 English words, sorted by frequency of occurrence. The frequency was calculated on a huge heterogeneous array of English texts. I recently saw a friend of mine look up words he didn't know by checking his vocabulary. Looking through the first 500, I did not find any unknowns. He showed an extract on his smartphone - about a dozen words from the second thousand (that is, from 1000 to 2000) and about 20 from the third. It's funny that when you go through the list, you come across sequences of words that successfully add up to phrases or even short sentences. The logic is very simple - if the word is very common according to statistics, and you don't know it, then it's better to learn it and see examples of use.

After reading the list of words unknown to him (already with translation), I saw the following thing. I knew about 50-60% of these words unknown to him, but some of the meanings of the translations recorded there were unknown to me, there were several words completely unknown to me.
In general, the site tries to be commercial, they sell lists over 5000 long, but this is not so interesting anymore.

So far, this friend of mine is writing a program with a convenient interface to look up unknown words - for learning purposes. I suggested to him that for a global assessment, not this list, but thinned one: every seventh word from the total list of 60,000 words is given. In fact, even watching the first couple of thousand is disheartening, not everyone will get to 5000. Although I can’t say for all 100, but the thinned dictionary will certainly show at least one word from the “family”, and the time will be spent, respectively, 7 or 10 times less (depending on the frequency of thinning).
By the way, such frequency dictionaries of the Russian language contain about 160 thousand words, including abbreviations and abbreviations. There are several different similar "corpuses" of English words from different organizations.

I'm interested in another question: how accurate are the tests that estimate the number of words you know? It is possible that this could be determined just by checking the frequency dictionary, as well as comparing the list of selected unknown words - their number and entry into different "families".

There are general laws of remembering and forgetting. One of the main things: if a person has learned something and does not repeat, does not use it, the information is forgotten exponentially from time to time. On the other hand, a few repetitions lengthen, stretch the falling exponent to an acceptable level. I was very surprised when a friend who worked as a tutor for schoolchildren told me that there is a sequence of time intervals for deep memorization: say, after 20 minutes, then after 8 hours, another day, etc., after which the information is planted firmly in the brain . That is, the statistically maximum level of the excitation signal is provided in the brain when it encounters this information.

Ebbinghaus curve, from Wikipedia.

How I learned words at the institute.

Without taking into account the standard course, where the requirements for the first three years were quite tough, I tried to read fiction. First big book was an old Soviet edition of Conan Doyle's The Lost World. I don’t know how it was adapted, but there were plenty of Victorian words and expressions in the text, and this greatly delayed the progress towards the end ... Of course, it was possible to look into Lingvo from a computer, but I didn’t like to read at the computer, but to run back and forth for each new word quickly tired. Tablets were not common then, a pocket electronic translator is an expensive rarity, so I developed a paper system for myself. In a thick 96-sheet notebook, the spread was divided into 6 columns. Now I tried to find a notebook - I got lost. Will have to describe in words. Divided the alphabet into groups of letters, for example - a..d, e..f, g..j, k..n, o..q, r..t, u..w, x..z. Approximately, by eye, I estimated the statistical percentage of words that begin with these letters and divided the columns in the spread into rectangles. For example, the group a..d gave 2/3 of the first column, and so on. The group x..z was assigned the last remaining smallest piece in the 6th column. Then everything is simple. I met an unknown word - enter with the translation in the desired rectangle. Nothing inside the block is not in alphabetical order - it will not take long to find. To get the translation while lying on the bed, you need to get into the book dictionary. That is, the value of receiving a translation is quite large, more than now look at Lingua or an online translator like

The language is quite difficult. Complex and big story Great Britain led a very large number of words. The Oxford English Dictionary, known in many circles, has approximately 600,000 words and expressions. And if you add dialect and slang to this list, then the number of words will exceed 1 million. But do not be afraid of this a large number, because even native speakers do not know all the English words. Average educated person, native speaker, knows 12000-18000 words. Well, the average resident of the UK knows 8000-10000 words.

How many words do you need to know?

If a person is not a native speaker and does not permanently live in an English-speaking country, then it will be almost impossible for him to bring his stock to the cherished 8000-10000 words. A good indicator is 4000-5000 words.

There is a standard and generally accepted gradation of the language. If the number of learned words is in the region of 400-500 words, then the level of proficiency is considered basic. If the active stock is in the range of 800-1000 words, then you can safely communicate on various everyday topics. If this number refers to passive reserve words, you can easily read simple texts. The range of 1500-2000 words will allow you to communicate freely all day long. If the vocabulary is 3000-4000 words, then you can safely read the English press or various thematic materials. A dictionary base of 8,000 languages ​​guarantees fluency in English. With such a number of learned words, you can freely read any literature or write texts in the language yourself. Those who have more than 8000 words in their luggage are considered highly educated people who learn English.

According to the standard vocabulary base is distributed as follows:
- beginner - 600 words;
- elementary - 1000 words;
- pre-Intermediate - 1500-2000 words;
- intermediate - 2000-3000 words;
- upper-Intermediate - 3000-4000 words;
- advanced - 4000-8000 words;
- proficiency - more than 8000 words.

Thanks to this data, you can determine your level of language proficiency, as well as set goals for yourself. But how many words have already been learned? No, you do not need to measure anything with a ruler for this. Everything is much easier. There is a test capable of determining the number of studied words with a margin of error of 10%.

To create this test, 7000 words were taken from the dictionary. Outdated and rarely used words were removed from there. Also removed the words, the meaning of which can be determined through the usual logic. As a result, 2 small pages with words remained.

How to pass the test?

The test must be taken with extreme honesty. The first page contains a list of words in columns. If at least one of the possible meanings of an English word is known, then a tick is placed next to it. The same columns with words appear on the second page. But there is already a selection of previously unknown words. This program checks whether these words are really unknown. To complete the test, there is another page that indicates age, gender, how many years English has been studied and others important questions. After specifying all the data, the end button is pressed and the number of words in the vocabulary of the tested person appears on the screen.
